Chapter Twenty-Three: The Secret Guard

"How much do they owe you?"

"In addition to the interest that has been repaid, I still owe ten taels of principal."

Meng Yao took out the silver taels and handed them to the strong man and threatened: "The money has been cleared in two, if you still take your subordinates to bully their brothers and sisters in the future, then I will never show mercy to my subordinates." ”

The strong man took the silver two with a flattering face: "Hero, I said that you have the money and are willing to help them pay it back, how can the small one make a mistake, and the small one will get out immediately." After saying that, he slipped away in front of the brothers.

Meng Yao couldn't help but admire the speed of this escape, worthy of being a person in the rivers and lakes, the speed of this run can be described as quite fast, without dragging the mud and water at all.

"Thank you, brother, for saving our brother and sister" Although the little girl was dressed in tatters, her little pink and glutinous face was really cute, and at this moment she also thanked her with a soft and cute voice, which made Meng Yao's hands itch for a while, and she couldn't help pinching that little face a few times.

"Stop"

I saw that the boy who had just been beaten down came to Meng Yao with false steps, and took Meng Yao's hand away. The small body is in front of his sister, and he looks like he is facing a great enemy.

Meng Yao just wanted to protest what was wrong with touching her little face a few times, but when she turned her head and thought that she was now a woman dressed as a man, she was touching other people's little girls in public, no wonder others were so nervous, maybe she thought that I had thoughts about my sister, so I helped pay back the money......

Meng Yao, who realized this, also noticed the pointing and strange eyes of the onlookers, and dared to treat me as a hooligan, which I had never tried to be misunderstood and molested by girls since I was a child, and Meng Yao couldn't react for a while.

"Brother, this son doesn't look like a bad guy, he not only saved his brother's life just now, but also paid off our debts for us." The little girl timidly pulled the corner of her brother's clothes and prayed, although the little girl was young, she also felt that Meng Yao in white in front of her was not malicious.

"Your sister is much more sensible than your brother." After speaking, he didn't forget to give the little girl a thumbs up to praise him.

When the little girl saw Meng Yao like this, her face turned a little red, and she was so nervous that she hurriedly turned her head.

"I'm sorry, I ......" Before he could finish speaking, the boy in front of him fainted.

"You've finally woken up, but fortunately, there are neighbors to help carry you back." After speaking, Meng Yao handed a bowl of medicine to the young man: "This is the medicine that the doctor just prescribed to you, hurry up and drink it."

"Thank you"

"You're welcome, this is opened by the doctor of Gushengtang, and it is free, since you kid still have this face, let the doctor treat you for free."

With a click, the medicine bowl was thrown on the ground and shattered, and the medicine flowed to the ground.

"The things of Gushengtang are not uncommon, quacks who buy fake medicines, if it weren't for them...... My mother's ......"

"Brother, you're weird, this medicine is not cheap, you're too wasteful." Meng Yao really didn't expect that when she heard Gu Sheng Tang, Xie Chuyao's reaction would be so great.

"I died faster after drinking their medicine, my mother died because of drinking their medicine, my mother contracted the cold, in order to let my mother get better as soon as possible, I listened to what the ancient doctor said and spent ten taels of silver to buy medicine, but my mother drank the medicine and spit blood directly and died, I went to ask for an explanation and was said by those despicable villains that I was deliberately looking for trouble, and rudely drove me away."

Xie Chuyao's hand hammered heavily on the bed and said angrily: "Now not only has my mother died, but I also owe a lot of ass debts, and I almost can't even keep my sister." Tearful tears rolled across the boy's face and fell onto the shabby quilt.

"Gushengtang is Xiao Xiang's industry, who doesn't know that Xiao Xiang loves the people like a son, how can he instigate the people under him to sell fake medicines to the people, not to mention that you really can't take out medicinal materials to confront people, and it is reasonable for others to suspect you."

"Who the hell are you?" After listening to the words of the person in front of him, Xie Chuyao looked disdainful.

"I ...... I just saw the prodigal son of the rivers and lakes who drew a knife to help me," Meng Yao looked at the boy, her eyes were inexplicably empty.

"Why are you so sure that Gushengtang is right, isn't it possible that I lost my conscience and did not hesitate to kill my mother in order to frame Gushengtang" Xie Chuyao's eyes were scarlet and asked loudly.

"Have you ever thought that this matter is not in you and the Gushengtang, but someone else." Meng Yao looked at the young man's surprised face and continued to analyze: "Gu Sheng Tang has been in business for many years, why do you suddenly sell such obvious fake medicines and smash your signboard, if Gu Sheng Tang wants to harm you, then please ask you what is worth harming." If you want to say that you don't have money, you don't have power, and you have never provoked the people of Gushengtang, so do you think Gushengtang will commit this kind of behavior that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself? ”

"You mean that someone is doing my medicine for the purpose of pulling the crotch Gu Sheng Tang?"

"Exactly, you recall whether you encountered anything strange after you came back from buying medicine, and why you couldn't get those fake medicines."

The boy fell into deep thought: "I saw someone drowning on the way back, out of kindness, I put the medicine on the shore to save people, and when I swam back, I didn't find anyone on the shore, and the medicine was fine, so I hurried home, and after boiling the medicine, my mother drank it." I just want to find a medicine to come out and confront it face to face. As a result, all the medicines, including the residue, were gone. ”

"Do you remember the drowning man?"

"Well, I remember. If you can give me pen and paper, I can draw it directly. ”

Meng Yao was really shocked by Xie Chuyao's ability to draw, and it was simply on the paper. Obviously, the conditions are difficult, and you can still practice one-hand painting skills, and if you train well, you will definitely be able to achieve some good results.

Meng Yao patted the young man on the shoulder and said solemnly: "I will definitely find out the mastermind behind your mother's life." ”

That determined appearance made the young man in front of him remember it for a lifetime at a glance. Until his twilight years, Xie Chuyao forgot a lot of things, and the memory of the only moment was as deep as carving into the bone marrow.

Meng Yao came to a dark alley surrounded by no one, and the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a seductive arc: "Doesn't this hero plan to show up to meet each other?" No one around answered, Meng Yao stared straight in one direction and continued to speak: "You obey your master's orders, presumably you also know my status in your master's heart, do you really want to disobey me?" If I'm not happy, I'm going to make others unhappy."

The secret guard was speechless, how could this quasi-princess threaten people to be on par with her own prince, and even knew more about the fox and the tiger, and she used it so well.

"Meet the princess-to-be." The dark guard appeared in front of Meng Yao in the blink of an eye, and saluted respectfully.

Meng Yao looked at the secret guard in front of her, who was dressed and usually mixed in with the crowd and could blend in without disobedience, and said, "No need to be polite, thank you for protecting me in the dark these days." ”

"This is the duty of the lowly position, I didn't expect Miss Xiao to find out so quickly."

"What is the task that your master has given you?"

"Keep you safe"

"Did you say that you will obey my arrangement unconditionally?"

"That's not true, the master didn't even think that I would show up in front of you"

Meng Yao showed the cunning of the fox: "Show up now, then it's understandable to obey my orders."

"I am only responsible for protecting the safety of the lady"

"Don't be afraid, how can I harm you, your master is also my sweetheart, you are his person, I will naturally treat you well"

"The lowly status is low, and I can't afford the preferential treatment of the young lady"

"How can it be, you are the right-hand man of the prince's side."

"Don't dare to be, Miss Xiao's status is noble, even if it is to sacrifice me to protect your safety, it is a matter of course."

"Stop, that's the end of the politeness. I called you here because I have something to say to you. I want you to help me find someone to come out."

The dark guard has never seen a young lady like Miss Xiao, and her personality is ...... That's blunt...... Extremely.
